Cosmos SDK
A modular, open-source blockchain SDK for building secure, high-performance, interoperable Layer 1 chains with full customizability.
What is Cosmos SDK?
Cosmos SDK is a modular, open-source blockchain SDK for building secure, high-performance Layer 1 chains with full customizability. It enables developers to create application-specific blockchains that natively interoperate via the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC), used by over 200 chains in production. The framework provides abstractions for governance, state management, tokenization, and application logic, allowing rapid development of sovereign blockchains.
Blockchain developers and teams building custom, application-specific Layer 1 blockchains who need interoperability, high performance, and full control over their chain's logic and governance. It's particularly suited for projects requiring sovereign chains that can communicate with other blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem.
Developers choose Cosmos SDK for its modular architecture, built-in interoperability via IBC, and proven track record with hundreds of production chains. Unlike generic smart contract platforms, it offers full sovereignty and customizability while maintaining seamless cross-chain communication, making it ideal for building high-value public or permissioned blockchains.
